Kirk Buchner and David Johnson discuss the Basketball Hall of Fame with a unique "elevator up, elevator down" approach.

The Stripper

16. Les Richter

Drafted by the New York Yanks second overall Les Richter never suited up for them as they folded.  His rights went to the new Dallas Texans (who pretty much took most of the Yanks), but he never played for them either as he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams for 11 players.  While this may look lopsided, it was but in favor of the Rams!

13. Torry Holt

A member of the St. Louis Rams for all but his final season (which was in Jacksonville) the 6th Overall Pick from North Carolina State, Torry Holt had a really good rookie season where he joined the famed (yes we are saying it again) "Greatest Show on Turf" and would be a Super Bowl Champion as a rookie.  Holt would promptly lead the NFL in Receiving Yards (1,635) in his second year and would do it again in 2003 with a career-high 1,696 Yards with an NFL leading 117 Receptions.  Holt was consistent with his production with six straight 1,300 Yard seasons 2000-2005 with a pair of 1,100 Yard campaigns after that.  The seven-time Pro Bowl Selection totaled 12,660 Receiving Yards with 74 Touchdowns as a Ram.
